Today was He Yuzhu's first day at work, and all he was assigned to was to chop scallions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers.
Just a few minutes after they started cutting the vegetables, head chef Zhang Zusheng brought in the young woman who had delivered the wine that morning and instructed her to wash the vegetables.
He Yuzhu then realized that this young girl was also going to be an apprentice. Thinking of the luggage she was carrying in the car, it seemed that it was her first day of work.
He Yuzhu smiled when he saw the little girl looking this way. Just as he was about to greet her, he saw the little girl glare at him angrily.
Did this little girl take the wrong medicine?
This left He Yuzhu completely baffled.
That shouldn't be the case. He was all nice to me this morning when I helped him move the wine, thanking me repeatedly. How could he suddenly become my enemy?
I didn't offend her, it's really inexplicable.
But who does this little girl look like?
Chapter 8 Sha Zhu, did your dad run away?
This was just a minor incident. He Yuzhu thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out how he had offended him. He just thought the little girl had taken the wrong medicine today.
It didn't matter who she resembled, since there was no such plot in the TV series anyway, so He Yuzhu just assumed that she resembled a certain celebrity.
Since the other party was not very friendly, He Yuzhu continued to chop vegetables with his head down.

......
Every 10 minutes, a system message would appear in the corner of He Yuzhu's vision, increasing his swordsmanship experience by one point, along with an increase in general experience points.
With the system's recognition, He Yuzhu became more motivated, as his hard work had yielded substantial rewards.
As the time drew near, the entire kitchen gradually became busier.
He Yuzhu has also been keeping busy.
When I was chopping vegetables, I could clearly feel my skills gradually improving.
How should the incision be made?
From which direction should the cleaver fall?
How to control the force applied when chopping vegetables?
How do you control the speed of a kitchen knife?
......
Numerous details kept surfacing in his mind, and He Yuzhu would unconsciously change his movements.
He changed his own strength, changed the direction of his sword strikes, and changed the force and rhythm of each strike...
The change was very slight, but it made me feel more comfortable and skilled.
This feeling is so wonderful!
He Yuzhu became deeply fascinated by it.
Before 11 a.m., the helper had already eaten lunch. After lunch, He Yuzhu came out just as the young girl came over to wash her hands. He Yuzhu said:
Hello, what's your name?
"What's it to you?" the little girl said angrily.
He Yuzhu was greatly surprised: "I even helped you move the wine this morning, how can you talk to me like this?"
"Hmph, so what if you helped us carry the wine?"
The little girl said angrily, "Who told you to take my job of chopping vegetables?"
"What? I'm taking your job?"
He Yuzhu asked in surprise, "Young lady, don't go. Explain yourself clearly. What do you mean I stole your job?"
"Hmph, you're the one who stole it."
The little girl got angry when she thought about it and said, "My brother had already made arrangements with Master Zhang so that I could come over today to chop vegetables and help out."
"But when I got here, I found out that you were doing the chopping, so I had to wash the vegetables."
Then, she angrily questioned, "Isn't this you stealing my job? You big bad guy!"
After speaking, the little girl turned around, her long braids almost brushing against He Yuzhu's face.
Then he strode confidently into the kitchen.
He Yuzhu was stunned, feeling even more grateful to his master. It seemed that someone else had already taken on the task of chopping vegetables, but he didn't know how his master had spoken to the head chef, Zhang Zusheng, and had given him the job instead.
As a result, the little girl could no longer do her original vegetable chopping and could only work at the water station.
He Yuzhu could only shake his head with a wry smile. It was indeed a bit inappropriate for him to take a young girl's job on his very first day here.
However, He Yuzhu does not intend to give up his job, as he needs this position to hone his skills and gain more experience to improve his culinary skills.
It was already peak dining time, and all the chefs were busy. Every now and then, if any ingredient was out of stock, someone would instruct He Yuzhu to cut it quickly.
He Yuzhu was busy until after 1 a.m., after which the pressure lessened considerably, allowing him to practice at a more relaxed pace.
He Yuzhu was just a helper. When he was chopping vegetables, he had to carry the washed vegetables himself. He had a few interactions with the girl, but he never gave her a friendly look.
After chopping a bowl of onions, He Yuzhu couldn't stand the spiciness anymore and went to rinse his eyes under the tap.
Then I heard an older woman washing vegetables say, "Xu Huizhen, give me that bowl of spinach."
"Okay, here you go."
He Yuzhu was startled and finally remembered. No wonder the little girl looked so familiar; it turned out she was Xu Huizhen.
I'd been trying to figure out who the little girl looked like, but I couldn't quite place her.
That's when it dawned on me; this was Xu Huizhen in her teenage years.
He Yuzhu found it strange, though, that Xu Huizhen was the female lead in "The Little Woman Under the Zhengyang Gate".
How did Xu Huizhen end up in the TV series "Full House of Love"?
The story of "The Little Woman Under the Zhengyang Gate" begins in 55, when Xu Huizhen had already married He Yongqiang and become a married woman.
Xu Huizhen is currently only a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, and looks like she just graduated from junior high school. I don't know how she got through the connections to be sent here as a helper.
She was only able to work as a vegetable washer because she had been taken away from the job of chopping vegetables.
He Yuzhu washed his face for a while and felt that his eyes were not so painful anymore. He turned around and asked, "Xu Huizhen, are you from Niulanshan?"
From the TV series, we know that Xu Huizhen's brother is from Niulanshan, so we can infer that her maternal family is from Niulanshan.
If Xu Huizhen's family is also in Niulanshan, then it can be confirmed that she will be the future owner of the tavern.
Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes: "Yeah, what's it to you?"
He Yuzhu said, "I didn't mean to offend you, why are you so angry?"
"Hmph, then let's switch roles, and you can wash these vegetables?"
He Yuzhu certainly couldn't switch positions with her; he needed that position to gain more experience.
Although the bonuses are mostly for knife skills, there are also a small amount of general experience points. These general experience points can be added to the dishes, which indirectly increases the overall cooking level.
"I'm sorry, I can't switch with you."
Xu Hui knew this would be the outcome, and snorted, "Then get out of here, I don't want to see you."
The little girl didn't know how to hide her disgust at this point; her face clearly showed that she hated her.
He Yuzhu could only apologize; he absolutely could not give up the vegetable-chopping job.
As for his relationship with Xu Huizhen, he can only try to improve it gradually in the future. Once his anger subsides, it wouldn't be bad to be friends.
After all, she has the face of a big star, and just looking at her makes me want to eat. If I could marry her in the future, I could eat an extra big bowl of rice at every meal.
The knife work was quite arduous; the three assistants barely had a break. Finally, at five o'clock, Hong Henian said:
"Zhu Zi, you can go home now. Hurry up and take care of your sister."
"Okay, thank you, Master. I'll be going now."
He Yuzhu handed over his work to Wang Song next to him, washed the kitchen knife, took off his apron, and then said goodbye to his master and left the kitchen.
After getting off bus 344 at Gulou Station, He Yuzhu went to a nearby shop and bought a pound of round candies for one yuan.
These hard candies don't come in packaging and can be sold individually for one cent each. This is the type of candy that kids buy the most.
Then He Yuzhu bought some towels and toothbrushes. Although the original owner wasn't sloppy, she wasn't exactly diligent either, and the towels she used were already black.
As soon as He Yuzhu stepped into the courtyard, Yan Bugui stopped him: "Silly Zhu, did your father really run away?"
Chapter 9: Your father doesn't want you and Yushui anymore?
He Yuzhu immediately asked, "What did you say?"
He Daqing left before dawn that morning. How did Yan Bugui know all this in just one day?
